Blog Category

I am trying to find a way to utilize the blog format on each of my pages. When I click on “Beautiful” I would like it to show only posts that are in the category “Beautiful” in the blog format. Similarly, when I click “Nerd” I would like only the “Nerd” category to show up. In my research I have only found ways to list out the category’s recent posts and maybe include an excerpt; however, this does not look very appealing. Is there any way to accomplish this?

I also write for another site (www.illinoisvipers.com). When I create a new page their it has a “Page Options” underneath the text area. Here you can choose a “Blog Category” that accomplishes exactly what I need. Unfortunately, I am not savvy enough to figure out how to get that into my site. Any help would be much appreciated!
